Swim Across America 2023, JD Edition
Earlier this year, I proudly wrote about my daughter Alyssa's 13th Swim Across America. This was her second year as event co-director of the Nashville swim and they smashed their $75,000 goal, raising in excess of $95,000 to benefit the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. With your generous support, over these 13 years, Alyssa has raised over $178,000 supporting three different cancer centers: Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center (Baltimore), Atrium Health (Charlotte), and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Nashville).
Following in his sister's footsteps, my son JD will be swimming in the Baltimore open-water swim. Please take a moment and read his Swim Across America 2023 letter to friends and family:
Hi my name is JD Corb,
I am doing Swim Across America for the 7th time this year on September 18 in the Magothy Bay, I am swimming 3 miles once again. I am doing this swim in honor of my brother because when my brother was 9 months old he died because of cancer. To this day he is my hero and is my inspiration to do many things including swimming and fundraising for Swim Across America. All the money I get from your donations goes to the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center for cancer research. Like last year I am hoping to get all of your help to become the top fundraiser under the age of 18 to win the Alec Cosgarea award after my sister, Alyssa has won it in the past and I won it last year. I encourage all of you to donate and maybe even participate in the Swim Across America event on September 18, 2023 at the Magothy River, you have a choice of 1 or 3 miles. All donations mean so much to me and I can't thank all of you enough for donating so no families will have to feel the sadness my family had when my cancer had effected our lives. You can use this link to donate or join the team and the swim.
- Thank you
JD Corb
I hope that you will consider supporting JD's swim this year. Thank you for your continued support to this important and impactful cause. ??
